MhIST Talk Therapy

Many of us experience times in our lives when we feel under pressure and find it hard to cope, this could be because of past issues, relationship difficulties, grief or from finding it hard to deal with everyday life.

Talking therapies such as counselling are useful in helping people come to terms with many problems they are facing, with an ultimate aim of overcoming them. They are based on an interpersonal relationship between the client and the counsellor or therapist which helps them develop a better understanding about themselves and then solve their problems.
